Spoke Reflectors
Your bicycle may have one of the following styles of spoke reflectors. Many bicycles will come with the
wheel reflectors already attached. If your bicycle does not have the wheel reflectors attached,
determine which style you have and follow the instructions.
Assemble a reflector between the spokes of each wheel:
Style 1 – Bolt and nut
NOTE:
If the bicycle has a wheel disc, put the reflector in
the notch of the wheel disc. The notch is shaped so the
spoke reflector fits into it.
- Make sure the center of each reflector [1] is less than
three inches from the inside edge of the wheel rim [2]
- Make sure the curve of the reflector [3] matches the
curve of the wheel rim [4]
- Install bolt and nut, then tighten.
Style 2 - Push pin
- Put fastener [6] over a spoke [7] and into each
reflector
- Push pin straight into reflector until a "snap" sound is
heard.
Style 3 - One-quarter turn
- Put fastener [6] over a spoke [7] and into each
reflector
- Turn fastener clockwise one-quarter of a turn.
Operation and Maintenance
WARNIN
G:
For your own safety, do not ride the bicycle if the reflectors are incorrectly
installed, damaged, or missing. Make sure the front and rear reflectors are vertical. Do not
allow the visibility of the reflectors to be blocked by clothing or other articles. Dirty reflectors do
not work well. Clean the reflectors, as necessary, with soap and a damp cloth.
